Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has signaled openness to a resumption of nuclear negotiations with the U.S. after a 12-day war with Israel over its nuclear program ended with a fragile cease-fire that appeared to be holding by late Tuesday.

In a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Pezeshkian expressed readiness to resolve difference with the U.S. “within the framework of international norms,” according to the presidential office.

"We hope that negotiations between Iran and the US will begin soon and lead to a positive outcome," Pezeshkian was quoted in his call with bin Salman.

Iran seeks fair and reasonable agreements within the framework of international law -- agreements that ensure the inalienable rights of the Iranian people and contribute to regional stability and development, he said.

"We have no demands beyond our rightful entitlements and welcome any support from friendly and brotherly nations in resolving these matters," he added.
